Macross Delta Scramble Gets Character & Gameplay Details

Bandai Namco has shared some new screenshots for its upcoming flight action shooting game, Macross Delta Scramble. We also have details of some of the characters you’ll come across, the music available and details of the actual gameplay.

So, let’s start off with some information on how the game actually plays out!

You’ll be able to fly about the Brisingr Globular Cluster (the game is based on the first half of the TV anime, up to episode 13). You’ll be set Main Missions which are made up of situations from the anime. But there are also extra missions where you’ll have to take on special missions that go outside the boundaries of the anime.

At the beginning of a mission you’ll take part in a briefing which will give you information on the mission you’re about to undertake. You’ll also be able to go into the settings to select your player character, variable fighter and support units.

The battles are 3D action shooting segments where enemy missiles will fly about all over the field. Special events can happen during battle and there is always the possibility of formidable enemies or allies appearing.

After completing a mission you’ll get given experience points and money.

You’ll have the ability to transform your Variable Fighter between three different modes:

Fighter Mode will allow you to quickly approach enemy forces with incredible speed. You’ll want to use this mode to try to strike the first blow.

Battroid Mode is perfect for close combat situations as it has missile-based counterattacks and melee combat.

Gerwalk Mode will allow you to eliminate enemy forces and facilities while still airborne. You’ll be able to get maximum firepower in this mode when shooting from a fixed location.

We also have details and screenshots of some of the characters you’ll have access to:

This game isn’t all about action though, if you activate a songstress skill then you’ll notice that the screen will become more showy. During the game you can freely choose the background music that will play during missions.

As well as the various songstresses and pilots from Macross Delta, there will also be lots of songstresses and pilots available from across the whole Macross series. You’ll be able to form a support unit of up to 5 characters. This will also include the tactical sound unit Walkure:
